I have gone to Dr Renfroe for a few years now. I have never had a more compassionate and thorough dentist in my life! I was always apprehensive about going to the dentist until I found Dr Renfroe. He takes the time to answer my questions and makes sure I’m as comfortable as possible during my appointments. They have lots of access to care since they’re open nights and weekends so I don’t have to take off work.

I had my teeth redone and my gums lasered there and Dr.Montee was hands down the best dentist I’ve ever come accross. They work with you and there is a very friendly environment. I have lost retainers before and they have replaced them same day. I will never go to a different dentist ever again.

Oral Health And Whole Body Health Are Closely Linked

THERE ARE MORE BACTERIA IN YOUR MOUTH RIGHT THIS MINUTE than there are people on this planet. Thoughtful dental health is about SO much more than avoiding cavities. Preventative dental care is essential to an overall healthy lifestyle.

Mouth Bacteria Can Spread To Other Parts Of Our Bodies

Neglecting one’s oral health can have very serious consequences. Something as seemingly harmless as bleeding gums—a sign of gum disease—is equivalent to an open wound that allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream and affect the rest of the body.

Many Studies Link Dental Health To Whole Body Health

A growing body of research suggests that gum disease can increase your risk of dangerous health problems, including…

Diabetes

Endocarditis & Cardiovascular Disease

Osteoporosis

Strokes

Alzheimer’s Disease

A First Line Of Detection For Serious Diseases

It surprises people to learn that dentists are often first to discover health conditions like HIV, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. In part, that’s because we typically see you more often than your physician does. Another reason is that certain health problems affect conditions inside your mouth and we’re trained to see that. So it goes both ways… Our oral health provides clues to our whole body health, AND our whole body health can affect our oral health.

What Can You Do?

It’s as simple as it is important. Consistently and thoroughly brush and floss to keep bacteria under control. Never skip regular cleanings and checkups. Let us help you monitor the critical relationship between your oral and overall health.
